Piano Shipping Cost from Brisbane to Louisville/Jefferson County, Kentucky

Lifting such a monstrous piece of equipment is back-breaking work, even if you're only lifting it onto a dolly. Many times, confident homeowners attempt to lift a piano and not only damage the instrument but injure themselves. Next time, err on the side of caution: let professionals handle the heavy lifting instead.

Moving an upright piano typically costs $150 to $650 for local moves (under 50 miles, often with stairs) and $500 to $2,500 for long-distance moves, depending heavily on distance, stair access, complexity, and mover expertise, with extra charges for difficult terrain or high-value insurance. Expect $200-$350 for simple local moves and potentially much more if stairs, tight turns, or extensive travel are involved.

Recommended Shipping Method We always recommend hiring professional movers to transport your piano. For short-distance moves, look for a local piano mover in your city. Upright pianos are always shipped using premium White Glove service.
